Buffalo wli-cb-g54a (802.11b/g)
Gentoo (kernel 2.6.0)
Netgear 802.11b AP

I've installed the driver which seems to work.  However I cannot connect
to my 802.11b AP because I cannot find how to make the card do 802.11b.

chaos driverloader-1.53 # iwconfig eth1 rate auto essid trap


eth1      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"trap"  Nickname:"unknown"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437GHz  Bit Rate=11Mb/s  
Tx-Power=13 dBm
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:1/1  Signal level:-10 dBm  Noise level:-71 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Is there a way to tell the driver to do 802.11b?

TIA,
dan
